"I'm pleased that Brad has joined the R2B2 Racing family," Burgess said.
"He'll be tuning our hemi-powered turbo Pro Mod cars and will also
continue to drive his car and compete for the championship himself in
2011. Additionally, Brad will help us in the development of a chassis
specifically designed for turbo-powered racecars."

Personett has achieved unparalleled success with his turbo-powered entry,
which he's been campaigning for three years. He currently holds the
national record for top speed in the Pro Mod class with his run of 255.39
mph, set at this year's U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis.

"This is an awesome opportunity for me and I couldn't be more excited
about joining Roger, Al Billes, and the rest of the team," Personett
said. "It's very satisfying to know that all this work we've put into
this program will continue forward. I think it's important to have the
diversity of turbo, nitrous, and supercharged cars in the Pro Mod class,
especially as we work towards Roger's goal of having a Worldwide Pro Mod
Association."

Early indications point to several new turbo-powered cars competing in
the Get Screened America Pro Mod Drag Racing Series in 2011 as other
racers fellow Personett's lead and attempt to tame the incredible
horsepower the combination produces.

"Brad had an outstanding season, winning two races and finishing third in
the points," Burgess said. "He also showed the Pro Mod world that a
turbo-powered car can be very competitive in quarter-mile drag racing by
becoming the first turbo driver to win an NHRA national event in Pro Mod.
Now several others are wanting to get on board. It's going to be a great
season."

Burgess will once again field his own '68 Camaro in Pro Mod to compliment
Personett's entry. He also owns and supports the In-N-Out Burger Dodge
Charger R/T of Funny Car driver Melanie Troxel, which will compete in all
22 NHRA Full Throttle national events in 2011.
